"Thank you so much for being part of our day, the pictures are beautiful." Ofa & Te Purewa

Thank you so much to Carey for absolutely beautiful wedding photos. Carey was so much help while we were planning our wedding from Australia, she made the process so much smoother. Communication was fast and she handled all my questions and “bride stress” so well. On the day she and her husband took amazing shots of the ceremony and put all their effort into getting stunning bridal party shots. They were both very patient with everyone. We are so happy with the photos. Choosing Carey was an excellent decision. Rob & Sarah Bluett

"Carey, we couldn't be happier with the beautiful way you captured our special day.

A big thank you also for sticking to our limited time frame, and for getting the final set of photos to us so promptly." Nick & Hannah.

"Thanks Carey for our wedding photos, you had only a short period of time to get some good shots and you made it with just a few minutes to spare which was greatly appreciated.

Thanks so much for the photos you took of me a few weeks ago. It was a wonderful experience, and I would encourage everyone to contact you, and go and have some fun.

We highly recommend Carey for your special photos!” Andre and Liesl

"Carey has taken photographs of my classic car, and of our farm and forestry, for publications. I was very pleased with the arrangement and content of the pictures, and the quality of the photographs. Also, Carey is a very pleasant and obliging person to work with." John Mackintosh

"Our wedding photos were sensational! They were a joy to go through and will look back at them with fond memories as Carey truly captured our day. We both live in London and dealing with her from long distance was much easier than we thought. She is professional, caring, fun and the results speak for themselves. Thank you Carey." Nick & Giselle Lawrence, London

"I've now done 3 photoshoots with Carey and they are always fun and relaxed, and you always feel comfortable (even those who don’t like photos!) The photos always turn out to be so gorgeous, high quality with rich colouring. The absolute best thing is that Carey always captures the personality of whoever she is photographing - the quirky... expressions and other characteristics of persona. I treasure the photos I have that Carey has taken because of this. I always recommend Carey for photos!" Ashlee Sturme

“We booked Carey for our Wedding just outside Whakatane on 27th February 2010. We both live in the UK and found Carey through the internet and previous reviews we had read. Right from the beginning we both found Carey easy to deal with and very helpful. As the wedding was planned from overseas, it was important that we have good contact with all people involved, and we felt we got this from Carey. All our questions and requests we handled quickly and professionally. Carey's time keeping was excellent for the rehearsal and on the day itself, and the pictures we received were of a very high standard. We have no hesitation in recommending Carey for Wedding's or other occasions.” Andrew & Megan

Thank you so much for the beautiful photos. We could not have asked for anything more perfect to remember our special day by. You have a great eye for attention to detail. We will definitely recommend you. Ray & Fay

"Diandra and I would like to thank you for the most wonderful work you did with our wedding photos. We are so happy with the variety and detail of them. Every time we look through them it is like the first time, of course it was a special day but having such great photography makes it even more special. Thank you very much..." The Purcells

“Thank you very much for the lovely photos, we are very happy with them, also for your help and service.”

"The photos just blow me away, you have really captured the essence of me, thanks, and it was so easy as you made me totally relaxed." Jan

"Dear Carey, Thank you so much for giving us such beautiful lasting memories of our wedding day. Despite the cold and the mist, the photos are phenomenal - we especially love the photos we took up at Toi Pa Lookout (Whakatane), with the misty background and the white umbrella - it's the small things like that, which make our photos that much more unique and special. It was such a relief to work with a photographer who was professional and reliable in NZ when we were in Aus. You made our preparations so easy, which is hard to do when you live in Aus and are getting married in NZ. We appreciate the time you took with us in organising and listening to what we wanted, and then also the time you took with each of us on our special day. Thank you, thank you, thank you." Katherine & Webster Harawira, Australia.

“Carey Conn has an amazing eye for taking photos. We want to thank you so much for all your hard work and for making our special memories something we can look at everyday! We absolutely loved the photos you took at our wedding. Thanks again!” Duane & Noelle Curd

"Just sending you a big thanks for looking after us on our wedding. You did such a great job, we couldn't ask for anything else. We are so happy with the photos that you took, which made it very hard to pick photos for our wedding album. The album came out better than I could have ever imagined. I am so pleased that we got you to do one for us. Thank you again." Matt and Kelly Olsen.

"We enjoyed everything about our day. It was relaxed and fun, but most importantly we are most impressed with the memories Carey helped create. Her professionalism and creativity is second to none, and we would definitely recommend Carey Conn Photography to everyone we know! We loved everything about the experience!" Vicki & Richard Knight

“I would happily recommend Carey Conn to anyone planning a wedding. Her service is stress free, very professional and the final result is of the best quality. She is creative and attentive to your wants and needs and goes the extra mile to make it happen - in our case lugging all her gear across to an island through the mud in a tiny dingy, twice! The photos are of superb quality and we couldn’t be happier. Thanks Carey.”Mereana and Stefan Beconcini.
